MY00S2000

Hey guys, I got a used S2000 for a really good price because of the noise the transmission was making- knowing that I may need to get this fixed if its serious.

But after some research it appears the noise I am experiencing is "normal"

so please help me pinpoint if its a normal clutch buzz


in all gears basically ( cant remember if 1 does it- I have not tried )


engauging is fine, shifting is fine but if I let off the gas at basically any RPM my car sounds like an 18 wheeler using engine breaks its a loud BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR noise that obviously as the rpms are higher, the BURRR is faster and lounder and quiets down as the rpms go down

if I put in the clutch it goes away, it only happens in gear on decel when my foot is not giving any gas ( load ) to the engine and trasmission.

Does anyone have a sound clip of this buzz? so I can cross reference?

and is there ANY WAY at all to fix this on my 00 ap1? or do I just have to live with it/

thanks !!!

Mine is super loud. I like it, it reminds me i drive a purpose built sports car with minimal sound proofing.

Mine is super loud as well, but I heard it doesn't hurt the tranny. All my friends think it sounds terrible, but I like it.

My car had the infamous "clutch problem" that is/was covered under warranty. Once the new clutch was put in, there's never been a problem since and that was several years ago.

Your problem, though, doesn't sound the same. Mine was like a rattling that occurred around 2700 rpm. At any other level there was no sound. I also noticed that with the hardtop on there was a booming effect, also around 2700 rpm.

Yes that is the clutch buzz. It's not harmful-- just sound. I personally like it
